Description
"Take a walk down Madison's iconic State Street -- from the State Capitol to UW-Madison's Library Mall -- to witness the images and feel the emotion that dozens of artists felt after the killing of George Floyd. This publication encompasses striking photographs and the artists' own words to understand their motivation and appreciate what they hope readers will feel when they see their work. More than a hundred murals originally commissioned by the City of Madison on storefronts generously provided by downtown business owners are celebrated in this striking collection of art and protest. Also included are original essays from noteworthy Black scholars and a special poem by Madison's former poet laureate. We hope this books encourages you to reflect, to consider and to "Talk About It" when it comes to issues of racial justice."--Jacket flap.
